I want to know... WHO HURT YOU, PENELOPE DOUGLAS!

Fantastic book, while as taboo as they come.  The underlying theme of grief and abandonment was compelling and emotional.

I genuinely don’t know how to feel. I almost DNF it but i wanted to give this book a chance. The book had its highs and lows but the main subject matter was hard for me to stomach at times. Don’t get me wrong i LOVE a good spicy romance, but a family spicy romance ? All of the characters have issues and i would highly recommend therapy. I didn’t hate this book, but i don’t think i would read it again.

In my opinion, the step-family taboo was totally unnecessary. This is a great story where things move forward and progress in a way that makes sense. But the taboo didn’t even really add anything to the story?

Holy wow. What a rollercoaster of emotions
 Started out slow but picked up. Just be prepared to be uncomfortable.

This book was quite an enigma to be honest. There were some heart-wrenching honest moments scattered throughout the smut that made me cry. I can’t fathom sharing a lover with any type of relative, meanwhile each man had their own relationship characteristics that I didn’t mind. But the whole uncle Jake situation was icky. So all in all I didn’t hate it but didn’t love it either.
